Getting loads of these Steam debug errors. Dont even know what a debug error is :'(
i get them as soon as i open something on steam (ie. Servers, Friends) and they come in their hundreds, one after another. So i cant play any games, no one on the steam forums can (or are) helping me so i thought id come here :D
thnx Phog

Try this.

1. Shut down steam
2. Delete the ClientRegistry.blob
3. Restart Steam and it should start updating.

If that doesn't work. Go hardcore and do this:

1. Shutdown Steam
2. Backup your config.cfg (just in case)
3. Reinstall Steam on top of the current install using steaminstall_cs.exe (379 Mb)
4. When Steam starts up enter your password (your client isn't removed)
5. Update CS by starting it.

You know steam sucks when you have a shortcut to a batch file that deletes ClientRegistry.blob and restarts Steam.  :D
